I can’t stay updating while here is Pakistan, too much family drama and me being sick and blah blah has been going on. Sorry for being such a terrible blogger and friend, but I need to take a break to finish my summer assignments and enjoy the rest of my short summer.
Thank you for understanding. lol the number of followers I have has been dropping :O
And I cant believe I missed Makorra week! Dammit!
I was finally able to snag a computer to just quickly update my status. Until I get a converter and adapter, I won’t be able to use my own computer. I made it safely! The plane ride took forever, and I was so tired.
It’s SO hot here, omfg. And humid. My uncle doesn’t use AC, they depend on the wind and fans in order too cool off. It’s not that bad though, just imagine a dustier and a little dirtier version of New York City, haha.
Uhh.. yeah…. Don’t know what else to say. How is everyone? Anything new in the fandom?
Hey guys, I won’t be as active as I am now for the next two months. Since I am traveling to the other side of the world, the time zones are going to differ a lot and it may not seem like I am on. I also have limited internet access in Pakistan :|
I’m still drawing and stuff, and they also have a scanner, so that means I will probably spam you guys with a lot of art! Yay! (I think?)
My flight is at 6 pm tomorrow, but I’ll be gone pretty much the whole day tomorrow, since the flight is like 18 hours long not to mention a layover at Dubai and London for 8 hours sob.
OKAY WATCHING MY BROTHER WATCH THE SEASON FINALE IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER OMFG.
-WHEN NAOTOK IS BLOODBENDING WOLVES-
“DANCE WOLVES DANCE”
-WHEN KORRA AIRBENDS-
“OH WAIT, I THOUGH AMON TOOK HER BENDING AWAY?”
ME: “Not her airbending though…”
“…WHAT?”
-WHEN AMON GETS THROWN INTO THE WATER-
“OH WOW I BET YOU HES GONAA WATERBEND LIKE AN IDIOT”
(HE DOES)
I usually don’t do things like this because I’m awkward, and I can’t really articulte my feelings well.
Anyway, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has followed me and to all my friends on tumblr. I never in a million years thought I would be this…well known? I really thought I would always stay in the shadows of the fandom. But… I can’t believe I am actually someone people admire. It’s really shocking for me since I am not exactly the most admirable person, and my social skills are lacking.
I also want to thank Eda and Sammy, two of my first friends on tumblr. These guys were the ones I roleplayed with through drawings, on my ask Korra blog. Though its dead now (I hope I can get back into it!) it really was the start of my wonderful experience on tumblr. I seriously can’t thank you guys enough, for befriending a nobody like me.
And I also want to thank Katrina, Grace, Ash, Madi and Alda for jumping in on this silly podcast idea I half-kiddingly proposed. Through some odd events and one thing leading to another, you guys have become my closest friends on tumblr, and in real life as well. There is no one who understands my love for this show better than you guys, and I think our friendship even goes beyond that. A similar interest is what brought me here, and what has created this bond between us.
Kat, what can I say. You are such a sweet girl, and have taught me a lot about…certain things. You have also taught me a lot about worldly issues, things I was truly ignorant from. Haha, but seriously, you are the best. I’m so happy I met you, and your talent in writing will take you very far <3
Grace, you are amazing, really. For someone who is only 16, you have a lot of maturity and knowledge I can only wish to possess. You are an amazing writer, and your fics bring tears to my eyes, really. Thank you for that pro-bending tournament you did as well, it really brought the fandom together, and I made some new friends because of it as well.
Ash, I love you. You are so hilarious, and even though you are blunt, I really love it. I also thank you for being so up-t-date with 4chan, because spirits know I would never be able to handle a place like that. Also, you love for Howrra is really incredible, and I’m proud to know you personally. Keep up the good work, and I’m sure that one day you will become a famous writer.
Madi, I am jealous of your skills. How are you able to draw so much without getting tired? Haha, but you inspire me, and your singing voice is also amazing. One of my favorites is the song “Somebody that I used Tahno”, it’s really great. You are very talented, and I’m sure you will go far with your skills.
Alda. Chong. Qurl. I think I have the best friend ever, someone who understands my passion and love for Mmakorra. I love how we can just capslock talk with each other and never get tired of it. Your enthusiasm and energy is contagious, and your ear for music is fantastic. This is why you have so many followers, because you are lovable, nice, talented and a smart girl.
I also want to thank Hollyn, Snowy, Maddie, Allie, Kira, Mwinga, Lauren, Eddy, and everyone else who I am forgetting because I suck at names. You guys… are so amazing. I wish we could all just live on our own island and always be one big happy family.
I also want to thank you, my follower (I should congratulate you for even reading so far) for giving me the support and love I never thought I would ever get. My tumblr experience has been fantastic, and this fandom is made Korra even more unforgettable. Though sometimes I want to slap you guys for fighting over silly things, I guess thats what happens when we are so close, and are so into a show.
Gah, I wish I could just hug the screen and kiss you all, I really do.
Lastly, I want to thank the creators, producers, animators, music peoples, everyone one the Krew. Without you guys, the show woulsn’t even exist! Never have I become so deeply involved in anything, and it’s amazing how one show, one interest, one vision can really bring a bunch of people together. I hope to meet Bryan and Mike on day so I can properly express my gratitude.
Well, this got really long. I “clap” you for even reading this far. It was emotional and mushy, haha. But I honestly mean it.
tl;dr : I LOVE YOU.
I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted a few hours ago. My god, I feel like crying because it hurts really bad and my face is swollen. I’m just a bloody mess, and its really gross.
But the gas they put you to sleep with! Holy shit. It’s the most insane thing ever. I have never had drugs or anything, but I was SO high. It was ridiculous, I didn’t even feel like I was in my own body. Everything was spinning so much, and even though I was able to hold a normal conversation with my mom, it didn’t feel like I was the one talking. I hated the feeling, and I felt like I was dead. I knew I was talking nonstop and it was pretty funny because I knew I was talking too much, but I couldn’t stop talking.
Arg, the numbing medication is wearing off, and its hurting ;____;
Is it normal to get a lot of phlegm after the procedure? And we are not supposed to spit or rinse, right?
Hey guys, I’m bored, and watching some anime.
Sooo, you guys can watch with me! Please, if you have already watched it before, no spoilers!

Hope to see you there :) There is a chat on the side too.
Okay, a few things. I’m really sorry for my appearance, this was literally right after Metrocon had ended and I was about to go to sleep.
This is who you follow guys. I wasn’t going to upload it at first because it’s so embarrassing, but I thought people could get a good laugh out of it or something. Idk. But when I say I’m crying… I really am crying.
I just cut it out to the Lin parts, so it’s really short. But… enjoy? I think?
I feel really uninvolved with the fandom sometimes, so maybe my perspective on these issues are not valid.
I don’t know a heck of a lot. I’m just a silly 17-year-old fangirl that can occasionally draw. I don’t have that writers mentality, and I usually don’t analyze characters or plots because I would rather read than write.
Overall, I really like The Legend of Korra. With only so much limited time, and so many characters, Bryan and Mike did great! I like literally all the characters, and sure, there are some plot holes and character relationship mishaps, but you can only do so much with the amount of time you have.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t criticize the show, because when you love something so much, you should find faults in it. You should find these faults so that person can improve, and you can also improve.
It’s just… I don’t know. This fandom can get pretty crazy sometimes, and I don’t know why I see more negative posts rather than positive ones.
Remember this series was only supposed to be a spinoff, rather than a whole new show. This season was created to be short, and relatively simple. Avatar spanned over 61 episodes, so of course we see more character development and plot holes being filled. I hope that in season 2, some problems that arose in season 1 will be solved in the next 14 episodes.
I think Hollyn made a fantastic post about the things that were missing from the show, and I agree! A lot more could have been done with the show, but that doesn’t mean we should be ready to kill one another over it. I understand both sides of the “argument”, and don’t really care what people do with this show. You wanna write up season 1 again, catering to everyone in the fandom? Fine, do it! I just don’t understand why the fandom is being so offended over it.
